摘要: 淋巴水肿是因淋巴系统功能障碍导致富含蛋白质的组织液在间质异常积聚的慢性进行性疾病，常继发于恶性肿瘤治疗后(如淋巴结清扫、放疗)，是影响患者长期生活质量的主要并发症之一。近年来，随着诊断技术的精细化、治疗策略的多样化以及管理理念的转变，淋巴水肿的临床诊疗体系日趋完善。本文旨在系统梳理淋巴水肿的诊断方法与治疗策略的最新研究进展，并结合现有证据与临床实际，提出未来的发展方向。
Abstract: Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of protein-rich interstitial fluid in tissues due to lymphatic system dysfunction. It frequently arises as a secondary complication following oncologic treatments such as lymph node dissection and radiotherapy, significantly impacting patients’ long-term quality of life. In recent years, the clinical framework for lymphedema has been increasingly refined, driven by advancements in diagnostic precision, diversification of treatment strategies, and a shift in management paradigms. This article aims to systematically review the latest research progress in diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies for lymphedema. Furthermore, by synthesizing current evidence with clinical practice, it seeks to outline future directions for the field.
